Yeah Jeff, that was an obvious felony you have to make as much as possible look stock. The valve cover extensions aren't a bad way to go anyways & a step in the right direction. Is your EGR system working the way to test that is run the car with the rear wheels off the ground in gear & when you open the throttle slightly if everything is working correctly you should feel the EGR valve lift with you finger. If not the first thing to make sure is that you have a chip that the EGR circuit isn't shut off. Call me if you have any problems I know you horsepower mechanics haven't concerned yourselves with this silly stuff in the past but with the communists take over of this country in full swing its a new day.
